Hello Fifth Grade Parents,

The end of the year is approaching and our boys and girls are getting ready for the next chapter in their lives. In order for fifth grade promotions/ceremony to be successful, we would like to take some time to plan and sort the end of the year activities. We are looking for some more volunteers and participation in making it a successful event. We are planning on having a meeting on Tuesday, May 8 at 6:30 pm at the Biggby Coffee Shop on Michigan Avenue and Military in West Dearborn. We would love for you to come and share your ideas and time.

Thank You

5th grade Homeroom Moms

Our third grade students did much more than visit the historic one-room schoolhouse at the Greenfield Village this week, they relived history by dressing up in period clothing  while playing the role of students in the 1800’s!

 

Ms. Martin and her students preparing for the visit.

Please join us for our April PTA Meeting tonight at 7PM in the cafeteria.  Please park in the back of the school and enter through door #10.

This is an important meeting because we will be voting on board positions for the next school year.  PTA Council President Nofila Haidar will be in attendance.  We will also discuss upcoming school activities such as field day and Teacher Appreciation Week.  Refreshments will be served, and we will have a gift card raffle and dragon dollar giveaway.

Important Reminders for Martian Marathon & Color Run
